Leonard Cheshire Disability was created in 1948.
Yes, Leonard Cheshire, the British war hero and humanitarian, had a disability. He was a pilot during World War II and sustained injuries that left him with a disability. After the war, he became a prominent advocate for disabled people, founding the Leonard Cheshire Disability charity to support their rights and well-being.
The short answer is..."YES". A slightly longer (but not very detailed) answer is; Leonard Cheshire served his time in the armed forces and retired back at home. Shortly after his retirement; an old friend of Leonard's contacted him to say that someone he knew had been injured during the war and was now permanently disabled. Leonard offered to help and over several years built up a home for soldiers who had been injured and were now disabled. Several years on; the Leonard Cheshire Foundation was developed and formed. The charity continued to grow, and was re branded several years ago as Leonard Cheshire Disability. Leonard Cheshire died in one of his own services several years ago.
